It might be a good idea to lower the flap sound significantly for the 172, so that it's below the engine noise -- in the planes I use, you cannot hear it at all except during the preflight, when the engine is not running. I was practicing recovery from unusual attitudes in my instrument work this morning -- for the last one, while my head was down and my eyes were closed, my instructor applied 40 degrees of flaps and then put the plane into a stall. Even then didn't hear the flap motor (and I was listening to all the noises very carefully). It was a particularly nasty trick on a 172M, which uses an up/down toggle switch rather than a slider for flaps, but I caught on when the plane wouldn't climb at 70kt with full power.
